18

 This blog is eighteen years old.  Hard to believe its teen age years are almost over. 

 I usually give myself flowers. 

Well here they are... Autumn Joy Sedum covered in snow.  
It kinda fits the snowy day we had on Sunday. 

If you are a long time/ part time reader/commenter you are partly to blame for me still blogging.  So thanks for that!  The blogging community is a wonderful group, many of you  are like family!  Thank you for sharing your lives with me! 

I shall continue on with the daily drivel. 

Minnesota weather; Snowy and some wind.  High 8F or  -13C Low was -9F or -22C  We have a blizzard warning through Sunday night into Monday morning. 

Andy ventured out to pick up pizza so that was a great supper!

 Happy Bloggiversary to me!

  4. Dear friend,
    You keep me hopeful. You make me appreciate my cold weather. I started in 2006. I have nothing great to share. Sometimes I think why do I continue to post boring stuff. So I hope we can both keep on keeping on. The alternative seems to be called “ the end”. My God bless and keep you.

  10. Happy Bloggiversary to you! I just recently hit 17 years, and things have definitely changed since I started. It's a bit harder to force myself to the computer, but I'm doing my best to persevere. I'm not a journaler, so my blog will be the history I leave for the kids and grandkids.

  19. I love your daily drivel! Happy Anniversary.
    In Ohio drivel news, it was 62 degrees when I went to bed last night and 28 degrees when I got up this morning. We are having high wind of over 40 mph and a winter snow warning. I am so glad that I got dressed, combed my hair and left the house yesterday to purchase eggs from the egg farm and a week's worth of groceries at Aldi, with a second stop at IGA for unavailable items like cottage cheese (is there a shortage?).

  27. Happy Blogoversary! I also enjoy the "daily drivel" very much. We had that storm yesterday. Cold, cold, cold and it's till cold, windy and snow. It arrived less than an hour after our plane landed late Saturday. Thank goodness it waited. It's good to be home and I'm looking forward to reading backward and catching up with your life.
    Blessings and hugs,
